Timeline
John Lee Hancock Jr. (born December 15, 1956) is an American filmmaker.
He also wrote the screenplay for Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and directed The Alamo, a remake of the 1960 film.
Hancock received his bachelor's degree in English from Baylor in 1979 and earned a J.D. degree from Baylor Law School in 1982.
After working in a Houston law firm for four years, he decided to pursue screenwriting and moved to Los Angeles.
Choosing not to take the California bar exam and practice law in California, Hancock instead held numerous non-legal jobs those next few years, took acting classes, and worked in local theater.
In 2022, he wrote and directed Mr. Harrigan's Phone.
Based on a short story by Stephen King, which appears in the collection If It Bleeds, the film follows a boy who befriends an older billionaire who lives in his small town.
When the man dies, the boy finds himself able to communicate with his friend from the grave by leaving voicemails on the iPhone that was buried with him.
He debuted as both a screenwriter and director with 1991's Hard Time Romance, and another screenplay he wrote in 1991 was noticed by Clint Eastwood and went on to become A Perfect World directed by Eastwood and starring Eastwood and Kevin Costner.
He is best known for directing the sports drama films The Rookie (2002) and The Blind Side (2009), the historical drama films The Alamo (2004), Saving Mr. Banks (2013), The Founder (2016) and The Highwaymen (2019), the crime thriller film The Little Things (2021), and the horror film Mr. Harrigan's Phone (2022).
Hancock was born in Longview, but grew up in Texas City.
His father, John Lee Hancock Sr., played football for Baylor and in the NFL and went on to become a football coach at Texas City High School.
His mother, Sue Hancock is a retired English teacher who taught in the Texas City ISD.
The eldest of four children (two brothers and one sister), John Jr. played football and competed in swimming while in high school (his brother played briefly in the NFL).
Throughout high school and when home from college, John worked in his grandfather's pipe fabrication shop, located near the industrial refineries of his hometown, Texas City, Texas.
He went on to produce the critically acclaimed My Dog Skip before finding widespread recognition as director of The Rookie, which won an ESPY in 2002 for "Best Sports Movie" and was both critically and commercially successful.
After a five-year absence from directing spent honing his screenwriting skills, Hancock returned to both his football and Christian roots with 2009's The Blind Side, a biographical sports drama film starring Quinton Aaron as Michael Oher, a homeless, 350-pound African-American teenager who ended up becoming the Baltimore Ravens' first-round pick in the 2009 NFL draft, and Sandra Bullock as Leigh Anne Tuohy, a well-off Memphis woman who makes room in her life for Oher.
With a budget of $29 million, the film grossed over $309 million, becoming Hancock's highest-grossing film to date, and received two Academy Award nominations for Best Picture and Best Actress, with Bullock winning the latter award.
Bullock also won Screen Actors Guild and Golden Globe awards for her portrayal of Tuohy.
In 2013 Hancock directed Saving Mr. Banks, a film about the life of P. L. Travers and her difficult negotiations with Walt Disney over adapting her novel Mary Poppins into a feature film.
He also directed The Founder (2016), about the McDonald's fast food chain, and co-wrote the upcoming musical film The Goree Girls.
In 2019 he directed his first Netflix movie The Highwaymen.
